Pontiac ended its regular season in a tough manner as the Indians dropped a 67-42 decision to U-High in a Corn Belt Conference contest on Senior Night at PTHS.

Head coach Brandon Martin pointed to turnovers as being the major factor. He said the Indians had trouble with U-High’s trapping pressure.

“Our kids played hard but made some poor decisions against a very athletic team,” Martin said.

The Pioneers played without Keita Bates-Diop, who sat for precautionary reasons after sustaining an apparent minor knee injury earlier in the week.

U-High’s pressure took hold in the second quarter. Pontiac trailed 9-5 after the first quarter but was outscored 18-9 in the second to fall back 27-14. Even though the two sides were close in the third, U-High outscored PTHS 15-13 in the quarter, the Tribe was unable to make a lot of noise in the second half.
